The first rental-priming rule? “Everything needs to read clean,” insists Gorder. “When you open the door, it needs to smell, taste, look, feel clean. Otherwise the first thing I’m gonna do when I get there is...clean!” To set this tone, Gorder suggests white walls and upholstery: “Bleach is a great thing. It makes white forgiving where other colors are not. I’m a huge fan of tightly tailored, washable slipcovers.”
